Help with cosplay? Lithuania.


Hey there everyone. I'm not sure if this is the place to be putting this, please tell me if I'm in the wrong.  :V

I have most of my cosplay Lithuania done for Otakon coming up, but I need a little help.
Where can I find a waist-belt that is brown and has a gold buckle?
I have brown boots and it looks tacky without a matching accessory.

It needs to be plain, and I wouldn't mind if it was cheap either! Lol. All I've been finding are these ridiculous fashion belts that cost like 300 dollars. :C

Second hand store. You can also find individual buckles at fabric stores that you could replace. There's also the option of painting the buckle with gold nailpolish. As a last hand resort, try Ebay for a cheap alternative.

Also, hells yes! You're costume looks pretty good so far! Bonus points for your gorgeous green contacts!
Just a suggestion, but try wearing your belt closer to your hips, than your waist, that way it doesn't accent any girly curves ;)

I have no advice, but you look awesome so far! >///<
(I say e-bay all the way though.)

Try ebay, or a second hand store!

Also, advertising for where I work but if you live in the US, Target used to sell belts like that.

The cosplay looks great so far though!

Id recomend just painding a black buckle with gold nail polish (which you can wash off later with nail polish remover) on a brown belt you already have :)

your cosplay looks amazing!!! I love your contacts they're very pretty.

Etsy is great for finding some specific vintage stuff as well. Sometimes it can be overpriced but I have found some awesome deals on there before.
I also suggest second hand stores. I usually find pretty much all my accessories at Thrift and junk shops.

Oh! I don't know if they have them round where you live but here in the midwest summer= garage and yard sales hunt around them as well.
